There are any number of ways that COULD be used. But would that be simpler than using the CentOS that was already installed, and running from a fast hard drive? (Given I could have actually read the versions correctly.) ;-) Fixing whatever deficiencies it did have, makeinfo, would pay dividends in the future. Even doing a CLFS MIGHT have had some future use, albeit not so likely. > PS good luck with with your vision. Thanks. Seeing the doc, no pun intended, tomorrow morning.

That's to be expected when using -j N, N>1. If you get something like this again when it seems more critical, the first thing you should do is try running in strict sequence, N=1. If worse comes to worst with a long test, kick it off before bedtime and see what has happened in the morning. One needn't sit there waiting.
